Darragh looks at the rock and shouts, at the top of her lungs, "No!" Then she starts laughing, because that's her favorite word. Then she makes to move out of the den, unafraid in the slightest. Mommy has said bad things happen if one didn't perform the right rituals, but Darragh doesn't believe that in the slightest. She charges into the sunlight. It's so bright! It's so wonderful! It's overwhelming!

She screams, making it about two seconds before Dimitri grabs her by the scruff and places her paws against the rock. Darragh squirms as she's placed down, then heads back out into the sunlight and starts screaming again.

"No! No! No!" It's her favorite word, and it's a chorus of joy as she bounces around, trying to tear up as much of the grass as possible.
